Well, it's been a while since I said how much I loathe the contact play.

 

I really really loathe the contact play.

Cubs have bases loaded 2 outs, game is on WGN

[hawing]

A Schafer/Gomez platoon looks really nice for next season.

If that comes to pass, let's please call the platoon Gofer! if only because Schamez sounds terrible.

apparantly the cubs blew it...

[pebadger]

Cards just ran themselves out of a potntially bigger inning, but Cubs might screw this up yet.

[owbc]

Ramirez' 48th double was about a foot from being over the top of the wall. It was hit so hard that it almost went through the wall.

that tends to happen when the pitcher bats.

[TURBO]

"Luccy" needs to come through here!!!!

 

EDIT: Awwwwwwww CRAP!

[pebadger]

Yep, the Cubs let them get away. I guess the good news it that is isn't worse.

[owbc]

Still missing the big hit to get a convincing lead.

[topper09er]

With Zach Duke coming in lets try to limit this to a tie game after this inning

[TURBO]

Gallardo just doesn't quite have IT today...

 

Hopefully we can get him through the 5th, but I'm not sure he should have a big leash today, given the fact that he has gotten pretty lucky to this point. He could be down by 3 runs just as easily as up by one.

[pebadger]

This is exhausting.

[topper09er]

Ill take the tie considering how much trouble Yo has been in all day. Cubs get 2 runs, down by 1

[TURBO]

Yup, we are very lucky to be tied at this point in the game...

 

Still don't trust our bull pen though, not a bit.

 

What are the odds that RR trots Gallardo back out there for the 6th?

I hear ya hawing, but my Badgers allegiance makes it tough to root for Gofers, then again rooting for Schamez may be tough during passover.

[owbc]

Schomez?

[pebadger]

It really feels like the Brewers should have done more offensively early. Of course, Nats fans probably feel the same, but all in all getting Yo out in a tie game against Wang is advantage Nats.

 

Non-baseball note: How in the heck are the Vikes pretty much taking it to the Niners?

[endaround]

Why is Torreabla pinch hitting? Sure hit doesn't hit for average, power or get on base, but he adds to that a complete lack of speed.

[dlk9s]

Well, this IBB is going to make me nervous.

[TURBO]

good question...

 

RR just wanted to get him in the game I guess...

 

[pebadger]

Nice to see the Braves keep winning. WOuld be good if the Nats need to win those game when they get to STL.

[owbc]

Aaaaaahh what a terrible call!!!!

[pebadger]

OK, really. I want the real officials back.

[owbc]

Ramirez is now 4 doubles behind Overbay.
